I'm not too well informed about Icon's graphics capabilities, so
correct me if I'm wrong, but from a quick reading it seems like
X Icon supports drawing, but not creating windows containing pushbuttons,
checkboxes, listboxes, etc and interacting with those controls. If
this is true, an Icon interface to Tk could provide complementary
capabilities, not replace existing ones.
Does X Icon have support for buttons and listboxes and menus etc?
